Charlie GrahamThank you so much – I am soooo happy with the dress, cannot tell you. You are truly amazing and thank you for everything. The dress is absolutely wonderful and you have been amazing. You are so talented and I am so lucky to have found you.
Reeta KaurEveryone was blown away by the dress! I did not want to take it off!!! I look at her (the dress) hanging and I want to wear her again! Hope you like the pics. I tried choosing pics that would show the dress off as much as possible but the pictures sometimes don't do her justice!
thalia doaniThe wedding was perfect, and I loved the dress. It couldn't have been better made. Thank you very much for doing such a great job. You will definitely hear from me again in the future.

I am not sure I have the adequate words to express how thankful I am or how talented and wonderful I think you are, but I’ll give it a go. My hopes and dreams for my dress were actualised by your amazing hands. It’s been more than a pleasure working wit you and getting to know you. My dress was so beautiful and different – just what I wanted. You made me shine on our special day.

Thank you so so much for the amazing dress! You had the image I had in my head and made it real and I just can't thank you enough for that! .... I just can't thank you enough for making my dress so perfect. I loved it and so did everyone else! I've had so many comments!

It’s taken me a while to write this because how do you thank the person who made the wedding dress of your dreams, when you weren’t even sure what you wanted!? Well now I have Chiara, and one day I will have her in a frame at the top of the stairs, despite my husband saying look like a ghost in the middle of the night!

Thank you so much

With love from Claire and Daniel

Rae Jones"I can’t thank you enough for creating my stunning dresses, I was showered with compliments, and everyone thought they were so me, which they were.  I felt so amazing wearing them. You created everything and more that I could have dreamed of.

Cristina DineenI hope you can see from these pictures that the dress was just beautiful. You were friendly and approachable, and made the whole process just a treat. I felt glamorous and romantic yet comfortable and like myself in the dress. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks and best wishes
Liz AllenMy dress is stunning and I love it – you have done me proud – I can’t wait until November to wear it, I want to wear it now!! lol. I think you can tell by the smiles on my face in the photos how pleased I am with it. Thank you just doesn’t seem enough so for now I will say in French – Merci mille fois or a thousand thank yous!”

Katie DarvallI want to thank Felicity for making me the most wonderful wedding dress! It was very easy taking my ideas to Felicity who designed and then made the perfect dress for my special day. I was able to incorporate my colour scheme and butterflies by having the dress made specifically for me and of course it also meant that it fitted beautifully.
Michelle MeiThanks again SO much for all your help and amazing skill and work. The dress was so comfortable and beautiful, it really was the dream dress!

Thanks again!

Ellie KingFirstly I wanted you to know what a GRANDDDD success the dress was. It was absolutely superb and I still go and unzip the cover and have a peek at it. So many people commented on it. I am so grateful for all the hours you put in! You did a incredible job. It was exactly what I wanted so thank you. Only you could have done that job!

At such a special time as your wedding you want professional people who you can trust and get along with to be involved in the crucial big day elements such as bridesmaid dresses, and Felicity was just that. The dresses exceeded our expectations in terms of quality of the workmanship and they were ready ahead of schedule; if you are planning your own wedding, 'ahead of schedule' is a phrase you'll come to delight in! Felicity was very easy to work with, she always gave good advice whilst having the creative and technical understanding to help create the final product. My bridesmaids were very comfortable and happy in their dresses and I was so pleased with them too, they looked beautiful. I had such a special wedding day, helped by people such as Felicity. I have already recommended her to friends.

The mother of the bride wrote: Dear Felicity, very many thanks for producing such beautiful dresses, the girls are really thrilled with them. We will send you some photos after the wedding with them all looking glamorous I'm sure. Mind you I mustn't forget the ties. Anyway thanks again and best wishes, Jean Billige

Dear Felicity, I know I've thanked you in lots of ways but I just wanted to write to say what a truly talented girl you are. You took my design and from day one made me feel like you were so passionate about it – so sure of where you were going with it I felt totally at ease. I loved coming to your house and sharing everything form fabric samples to life stories with you and the final product – simply breathtaking. I have had so many compliments on the dress – all that detail and though paid off! I wish you every bit of success with your business and with the arrival of your beautiful new baby. Thank you a million times.

Rachel Tyler (Vicki's mum) wrote: Vicki is so thrilled with her dress-every bit as pleased with how it has all come together as she planned. It would be lovely to see you at the church if you are free. Finally and far too late I get around to writing to you. Your creation for Vicki was just so utterly perfect and so right for her. She looked exactly how she had hoped to and I know it was far beyond her hopes and dreams. You took so much care and of course it showed. The fit was perfect, it moved as she moved and the ooh's and ahh's said it all. I do so hope your pregnancy goes well and you have an easy time. Enjoy being a mum! With greatest thanks and best wishes

Helen GordonThe day was lovely and the dress was a big hit, thank you so much! I had so many people asking me where I had got it from and saying it was stunning! It really was! My mum and I got it on without any issues on the day and I didn't want to take it off again!
GerryYour quality of work is amazing and incredible value for money. Thank you for all that extra work. I will certainly be recommending you to anyone I hear is getting married! So will my friends!
Emily Hunter...everyone who came to the wedding commented on the dress. I spent a lot of the day telling people about you! People made such lovely comments about how beautiful it was and I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful I felt in it.
A very happy newly-wed…

Just a quick note to say thank you for creating my dream dress. Without you I would not have had such a perfect wedding dress. I can't thank you enough for all your time and effort. This dress will be something I cherish forever. Thank you again Love, Ellie

I was absolutely delighted with my beautiful dress! I really appreciated the time you took to explain the different options and the effort you went to in order to make sure it looked perfect, including an extremely useful set of instructions for my bridesmaid on how to make the dress look its best on the day. Your patience, enthusiasm and skill made the whole process a pleasure!

and later: Thank you once again for producing such a beautiful dress, and the time you took to make it look exactly right (including the veil!)

Ailsa's mum wrote: Thank you so much for all the work you put into getting the dress just right for Ailsa and the helpful advice with accessories etc. She looked lovely on the day and felt very comfortable and happy with the dress. The dress fittings became a firm part of the wedding preparations and thank you for your welcome when we visited. Ian was especially pleased that he could join us for the final fitting. With best wishes, Christine

One of the pleasures of having my own shop, is I also get some alone time.
If you have a busy life you know the rare joy of getting to hang out with just yourself sometimes.

Which isn`t to say I don`t love welcoming brides into my shop - I absolutely do.
But I don`t think I could ever have a colleague in the shop with me (not full time, anyway).
Not after working for myself for 25 years, and being used to how I like to to do things.

Isn`t that the difference between being alone and lonely. I am alone, but very much not lonely.

Hands up all my introverts! 🙌🏻

This custom dip dye overskirt was the perfect pop of colour for Tanja`s wedding dress. ⁠And with autumn well and truly here, I wanted to celebrate those beautiful colours.⁠
⁠
Her floor length skirt included:⁠
💛a graduated hi-low hem to match the dress underneath⁠
🧡two layers of soft tulle⁠
🩷hand dyed with four vibrant colours; yellow, orange, red and burgundy⁠
❤️snaps along the waist for easy attachment and removal to the wedding dress⁠
⁠
My bespoke ombre overskirts have so many other customisation options as well. From extra layers of tulle or lining fabric, to finishing off the waistband with ribbon or a pretty beaded belt. And I have over 30 colours to choose from, so there are almost limitless options.⁠
